"You will not stop me, Peter."
Henry was sitting away from the Lost boys, watching as they danced and cheered around their fire. As he was staring, he felt something stab him in the back.
"ow" he quickly turned, standing up to look at the boy behind him.
"so you're the boy Pan has been looking for all this time?" The boy scoffs as he pokes Henry again, this time in the chest pushing him backwards.
"Ask him"
He boy once again scoffs and he lunges towards Henry.
"stop it!"
All the Lost boys stop to see the altercation going on behind them. "If you can't take this, how are you gonna handle what Pan has in store for you?"
Henry looks around for a weapon, conflicted about what the boy is suggesting. He stares down at a stick. 'great. all i have is a stick to a spear.'
Devin chuckles and nods his head towards the inanimate object on the forest floor. Henry is quick to pick it up. Above them, The Archer watches the exchange, waiting to see if he needs to step in before Peter does. He doesn't wish for one of the boys to be injured. The Lost boy lunges at Henry with his weapon high, striking into the stick as he is quick to defend himself.
"Not Bad" the boys turn to see Pan leaning against a knotted tree with his arms cross. they quickly stop their 'sword fight' and look towards him. he quits leaning and begins walking in their direction, "but wouldn't it be more fun if you had real swords?"
All of a sudden, a body lands in front of where Peter was walking, Silas, landing their hand on his chest, careful, he murmurs at his lover.
"it's alright, love, i just want to see how it plays out." he gives Silas a quick kiss to the head before walking around him.
"I've never used a real sword.." Henry is quick to defend.
"This is Neverland, and you have the heart of the truest believer. you can use whatever you want. you just need to believe, Henry." Pan stands behind the boy and helps him lift his stick into the air. Henry closes his eyes, believing that his stick would become the weapon that he needs for this battle to be 'more fun' as Pan says. "close your eyes, and believe your holding a real sword"
Silas looks over at Devin, who doesn't look as if he wishes this fight to continue, but refuses for Pan to see him as weak. The Archer sighs, contemplating what he's about to do.
He looks over and sees that what was once a stick is now a beautiful sword, ready for blood. 'fuck me'
"Well, what are you waiting for? go on."
Before Henry can begin his advances, Silas walks in front of Devin, "move." is all he says before the Lost boy backs away. He turns to Henry, and pulls his sword from it's holster.
